Job description

At Bedford, we help customers see what others can’t and deliver value that goes Beyond the Expected. As one of Anaplan’s most recognised and awarded partners, we combine deep platform expertise, rigorous delivery standards, and a culture built on partnership, quality, innovation, customer focus, humility, and curiosity.

We expect every Anaplan professional at Bedford to be more than a modeller - to be a trusted advisor who sees risks early, identifies opportunities others miss, and helps customers unlock real business impact.

If you’re passionate about elevating your craft and delivering outcomes that surpass expectations, you belong here.

What “Beyond the Expected” means at Bedford

Beyond the Expected is the behavioural standard for everyone at Bedford.

It shows up in three ways:

Mindset

• Curiosity and strategic thinking
• Humility and willingness to learn
• A drive to exceptional craftmanship and delivery

Behaviour

• Proactively identifying risks and opportunities in customer delivery
• Communicating early - no surprises
• Bringing clarity to complex technical or business situations
• Preparing customers and colleagues for success
• Acting with initiative and ownership

Delivery

• High-quality model design, optimisation, documentation, and execution
• Rigorous governance and process adherence
• Strong attention to detail
• Ownership from scoping to delivery to customer adoption

These behaviours are integral to becoming a trusted partner to our clients and to maintaining Bedford’s reputation for excellence.

An exciting opportunity has opened within our Professional Services Team in the DACH region for a Model Builder role. This is a full-time position.

This role is aimed at professionals working close to business processes – for example in controlling, FP&A, or data/analytics – who want to move into a consulting environment and work on how these processes are structured and implemented in systems. Experience with Anaplan or comparable platforms is a plus, not a requirement.

What We Offer

• A structured onboarding boot camp
• Mentoring and close collaboration with experienced consultants
• Early exposure to client work with defined ownership

Accountabilities and KPIs

• Quality and success of project delivery
• Customer satisfaction, adoption, and health
• Gross Margin performance (where relevant)
